Evelyn. An attack? All of the sudden? How had it even happened that they were able to infiltrate the pack without anyone spotting them?I fell on the bed and sighed. What was it that was going on exactly? Why was it looking like everything was falling against me? Why couldn’t I just have a day of rest with these people? How had it been that the only time it looked like I was actually going to be victorious was the time something as terrible as this was happening?I walked to the door and opened it, only to see over twenty soldiers guarding the door. The moment they saw me by the door, they barricaded the place, telling me without words that I was not allowed out of the place. “Where is Grace? What is happening? Are the pack members okay?” I asked all the questions in my mind. “Luna, please stay indoors. As soon as we have any of the information, we will let you know. For now, we don’t.” One of the guards replied. I noticed that he was the same guard who came earlier to announce the
Evelyn. Wow!Were these people actually ganging up on me at the moment? After everything that happened that we all were witnessing? The next best thing they could think of was to gang up on me?“How does planning a party determine if we would get attacked?” I asked them, already getting fed up with them and their antics. These were the people whom I had thrown the party for because I wanted to get into their grace badly. “Because if you had not spent time planning that party, you would have been able to sense on time that we were in danger, but no, it was all like that because all you cared about was your party!” That was the Elder. I sighed. Would anything I did ever be enough for these people? Or would it be that no matter what I did or how hard I tired, they would never be able to accept me for who I was?“Nothing to say?” The head of maids asked in a low contempt voice. “Well, that same ball party that you are here putting down saved so many lives. Lives of people who regarde
Gaius. My head banged furiously. I frowned as I wondered what my head had been hit with to make it hurt this much. As soon as the thought of the hit came, I opened my eyes to see my environment and who had dared to hit me. Instead of being in the office of Alpha Trey as I last remembered, I found myself on a seat, my hands and legs bound to it with something that felt cold on my body, which my brain managed to translate to metal. I hissed as I looked around to see if I would be able to get any clue, but everywhere was dark, making it dark to see beyond a few centimeters from where I sat, bounded. Where was I and how had I gotten to the place?I tried to remember exactly what went wrong when I was at Alpha Trey’s place. The only thing that came to mind was me asking him if he had a recorder that I could use to help him fight against Cyrus so that he would have his daughter back safely in his pack and be able to stop the other man from blackmailing him. Then, I saw the look of shock
Evelyn. Thud! Thud! Thud!!The banging of footsteps against the floor got to me even in my deep sleep bi turned, trying to ignore the sound that managed to penetrate through me, but it was too loud for me to ignore. Screams and shouts of frights soon followed the heavy and running footsteps. Something was wrong!That alone propped me to open my eyes and I winced as I saw people running around helter skelter in fright. What was going on?I didn’t have to think or guess about that for too long as a man ran into the camp that was set up for the injured and his eyes darted around. When he saw me, he rushed to where I was. “We are under an attack!” He screamed. What?! An attack again?!The rest of the sleep in my eyes disappeared. I quickly got up from the makeshift bed that was prepared for me by Grace after I insisted that I wanted to stay and help take care of the injured people. “Where? Are they very close to here?” I asked the man who was already running back outside. I left t
Evelyn. Finally, I was back in the comfort of my home, and now seated on the bed. The moment I closed my eyes to sleep, tears began to fall from my eyes without restrain. I didn’t bother to hold it back, knowing fully well that I had only put on a facade when I was with the people. Now that I was all alone, I couldn’t help the different emotions that overwhelmed me. Twice in a short time, I had near encounters with death. If I had not been lucky each time, I would be dead by now. If I was the only one who was closed to dying, maybe I would not be so angry right now, not when there were several of the pack’s people who were still fighting for their lives right now. The pack has lost a lot of soldiers from the repeated fights they had to engage in just to keep everyone safe. And then there was Gaius whom I had not seen eor heard from ever since he left the pack. According to the timeframe he gave me, he was supposed to be back in the pack before the end of the day, yet I didn’t see
Gaius. For what felt like forever, I managed to merge myself into the crowd again. I ignored the stares of people at how tattered I was looking. I had managed to escape from the cell I was trapped in and rushed into the forest. After running and running for hours in fear of having guards being set after me, I found myself in the city of the moon goddess knows where. I tried to find my way out of the place, but nearly everyone I stopped ran away from me like I was some sort of plague. It was either because they knew I was someone who tried to escape from someone or something and they didn’t want to involve themselves in my matter or because they thought I would harm them. Whichever one it was, it wasn’t helping my situation. Now, all I could do was get to busy areas and merge myself with the people there so that it wouldn’t be so easy to notice me among them. “Did any of you see a man who looks tattered and probably has a chain on him?” I heard someone yell from a distance. I knew
Cyrus POV. “I am glad you are here,” I said to the woman in front of me while dishing a portion of food onto her plate. “I hope you enjoy your meal,” I told her with a bright smile. It was a smile that I. ontinjed to plaster on my face for a little over four hours now that I had been standing and attending to these people.She nodded her head as I added another portion to the one I already served. Once I was done serving her, I expected her to walk away like the rest of the others did but she didn’t. “You are such a good Alpha.” She said to me with a grateful smile. She ate a spoonful of the food I served her and smacked her lips. “Thank you for feeding us.”“You are welcome,” I said with a smile. She walked away after that and another person took her place, this time with their own empty plate. I repeated the action I did for the woman. After everything in my plan had gone haywire, and almost everyone was pointing an accusing finger at me and claiming that I was a wicked Alpha, I
Evelyn. “How long do you think it will take before we are able to put up the walls completely?” I asked the workers in charge of the project. After the initial rejection from the Elders and some of the people of the pack leaving because they claimed that they could not wait behind, holed up in a tent when they wanted to be free and go about doing theor businesses, the fee people who were left finally supported me and helped moved the tents to the mansion area. Now, every one of them were there and helping out however they could.Some of them were these people who had volunteered to help build the walls so that the process would be faster than going out to loon for more people. However, it still didn't excuse the fact that the building was going to take a while. How long that would be was something I didn't know yet, which was why I intended to find out from these people.“At least three weeks, Luna.” One of them replied. “And at that, we need every hand on deck as much as it is possi
